Kaylene Harrison Independent Training Consultant	I wholeheartedly support and endorse the manifesto; I just hope that others outside the L&D world will see it and buy into it.
Larry Lynch IU Health Multimedia Group	I urge anyone developing eLearning to read the principles and try to implement them in their everyday work to make training and performance successful.
Robert Becker Becker Multimedia, Inc.	The manifesto describes problems that have pervaded and dominated the online learning industry for decades.
Will Constantine LearnHaus	As someone who is newer to the eLearning industry as core focus, I read much research that outlines the same implications for eLearning. I am lucky to not have benchmarked myself on the old principles "click to next". I intend to fully apply the Manifesto to the work that I do. I am excited for the change that we are going to make on the profession of L&D and more importantly performance. This should also be talked about openly and engage people in conversations that encourage designers to apply the Manifesto and also, eventually make it even more meaningful. I look forward to having these conversations at conferences and throughout my interactions with the learning community.
Jeff Andersen Mars Hill University	I endorse this eLearning Manifesto and will use it to guide my learning and the creation and delivery of eLearning environments.
Aaron King Education Think Box	Not only is this revolutionary, it is also a refreshing and innovative ideology of elearning.
Jennifer Cross	The pursuit of the ideals set forth in the Serious eLearning Manifesto are what lead me to be an instructional designer and trainer. Anyone who seriously cares about the people he or she is training should sign this.
Barry Kayton Cognician Inc	As co-founder of Cognician I fully endorse the Serious eLearning Manifesto. Bravo for codifying these principles!
Maria Schutt	Who would not endorse the manifesto? Learners are running away from elearning and stakeholders are losing faith in our ability to produce meaningful learning experiences outside the traditional classroom settingâ€¦ elearning needs to be redefined, designers need to re-learn how to design for elearning, and faith in elearning capabilities can be restored.
Natalie Wieland CPD Interactive	eLearning can be a genuine and exciting learning experience, but it is important it is suitable and done well. Further it provides access to education without prejudice or discrimination. The manifesto helps ensure only high quality eLearning becomes the standard.

Rod Ward
Infosemantics Pty Ltd

As a professional e-learning designer and developer I have long wanted to see this kind of improvement in the quality of online instructional materials. The eLearning Manifesto provides an excellent checklist of core principles against which any designer or developer can compare his or her own work. I sincerely hope this movement gains momentum and convincingly conquers the world of online learning.

Aleksandra Radulovic

I support and endorse the Serious eLearning Manifiesto.

Antonio Delgado Edumorfosis	I endorse the Serious eLearning Manifiesto because eLearning technologies are for link to synaptic, social and artificial networks of knowledge. Not to give classes.
Ryan Parish Inception Labs	It’s about time that we take eLearning and flip it on its head– providing our learners with real, interesting courses that help them change their behavior, not just feed them information. Me, and the rest of Inception Labs embrace and endorse the Serious eLearning Manifesto!
John Ambrose Kaiom University of Papua New Guinea	I am in support of Serious eLearning therefore would like to endorse this proposed standard for our learners. Yours in eLearning, J.Ambrose
David Swaddle	I love the idea of pushing eLearning in the right direction. This manifesto and the principles it presents are a great nudge in the right direction. IMHO there’s little point to training unless it changes behaviour – whether it’s eLearning, blended or traditional. Much of the manifesto can apply to any training or teaching, not just eLearning.
Ghada AbdulSamad Nahdet Misr publishing group	I support and endorse the manifesto. It’s time to have principles and guidance for better elearning outputs.

David Germain Insperity	The principles outlined in the manifesto are central to our craft, and obligatory for each of us as professionals working to empower others to develop their talent and improve their performance. I hope that this manifesto will inspire and challenge us all to do more.

Parker Donat eLearning Brothers	ELearning developers and innovators need to take a personal gut check. What can we do better with what we have? How can we raise the standard of eLearning for the industry? These are the types of questions we should be asking ourselves and then creating discussions with all our L&D communities. We should be having these gut checks. We should be having these discussions. And we should be improving the standard across the board. That’s why I think the Serious eLearning Manifesto is a timely and needed. We all can do a little better. We can all team up to share and spread the word.
